Jace Caldwell’s chest burned, blood gushing from where Lena Voss had plunged Ethan’s rune-etched dagger into his scar. The shadow city’s plaza pulsed with the spire’s red-veined glow, its Shroud-like face leering, eyes blazing.

The sixth Obsidian Heart lay at his feet, its sickly light dimming, while the seventh Heart’s shards glinted in Victor Kane’s hand, his exosuit gleaming. Aria, the young Marked girl, cowered near the spire, her red eyes wide, clutching the fourth Heart’s fragments.

Lena stood frozen, her bloodied hands trembling, her face pale with something—guilt? Fear? Jace’s scar throbbed, healing the wound, but slower, pain lingering like a scream caught in his throat. Ethan’s whisper echoed: She’s theirs.

His heart was a knot of grief and rage—Ethan’s ash, Lena’s lies, the dagger’s sting. He staggered to his feet, Glock shaking in his hand, the air thick with the reek of sulfur and rusted iron.

“Lena,” Jace rasped, voice cracking like brittle glass. “Why?” His scar burn

  • Key To The Void

    Jace Caldwell’s scar burned, a jagged pulse searing his chest as NexTech’s neon-lit city quaked, the void-core—a massive, living machine etched with the company’s logo—pulsing like a heart on the brink of rupture. His mirror-self stood before it, eyes black, scar blazing, clutching a silver Obsidian Heart, its pulse a low thrum, like a storm trapped in steel. The mirror’s voice, a twisted echo of Jace’s, declared: “You’re not the sacrifice. You’re the key.” Lena Voss—merged with her mirror-self, eyes flickering between human and white, scar pulsing—stood nearby, her voice a haunting blend: “I’m the pulse.” Aria, the young Marked girl, screamed, her gold Heart flaring in her trembling hands, its wild pulse cracking the ground like a star fracturing. Ethan’s form flickered, half-ash, wired to the core, his black eyes faint, his rasps barely human. The air reeked of molten steel and something acrid, like loyalty burned to cinders. Jace’s Glock trembled, his heart a snarl of grief, ra

  • Pulse Of The Void

    Jace Caldwell’s scar burned, a jagged pulse ripping through his chest as NexTech’s neon-lit city quaked, the void-core—a massive, living machine etched with the company’s logo—pulsing like a heart ready to burst. The mirror-Lena stood before it, eyes white, scar blazing, her voice a twisted echo of Lena’s: “You’re not the pulse. I am.” Aria screamed, her small hands clutching a gold Obsidian Heart, its wild pulse cracking the ground, like a star fracturing under pressure. Ethan lay wired to the core, his black eyes flickering, a silver Heart embedded in his chest, his faint rasps barely human. Lena—the real Lena—gripped Jace’s arm, her eyes human, tears carving paths through blood-streaked grime, her redemption hanging by a thread. Azrael, the Void’s architect, loomed nearby, his void-black eyes glinting, the white Heart in his hand pulsing like a dying bone. The air reeked of molten steel and something sour, like loyalty charred to ash. Jace’s Glock trembled, his heart a snarl of

  • Born Of The Void

    Jace Caldwell’s scar burned, a jagged pulse tearing through his chest as NexTech’s neon-lit city trembled, the void-core—a massive, living machine etched with the company’s logo—pulsing like a heart on the verge of bursting. The new man stood before it, eyes void-black, scar blazing, clutching a white Obsidian Heart, its pulse a low thrum, like a storm trapped in bone. His voice, like a bell in a void, echoed: “The Void’s heart is born, and it’s all of you.” Ethan stood nearby, unwired, black eyes flickering, a gold Heart pulsing in his hand, his face haunted, not the brother Jace knew. Lena Voss gripped Jace’s arm, her eyes human, tears cutting through blood-streaked grime, her voice raw from her fleeting redemption. Aria, the young Marked girl, cowered behind a shattered spire, her red eyes streaming, clutching the fourth Heart’s shards. The air reeked of molten steel and something bitter, like trust charred to ash. Jace’s Glock trembled, his heart a snarl of grief, rage, and fe

  • The Sacrifice's Edge

    Jace Caldwell’s scar burned, a jagged pulse ripping through his chest as NexTech’s neon-lit city trembled, the void-core—a massive machine, its surface etched with the company’s logo—pulsing like a diseased heart. Ethan lay wired to it, alive, his black eyes flickering, a silver Obsidian Heart embedded in his chest, its pulse a low thrum, like a storm trapped in iron. The white-eyed woman stood before the core, her scar blazing, holding a blacker-than-night Heart, her voice like a storm breaking: “You’re the sacrifice, Caldwell.” Lena Voss gripped Jace’s arm, her eyes human, tears cutting through blood-streaked grime, her betrayal still raw despite her whispered apologies. Aria, the young Marked girl, cowered behind a shattered spire, her red eyes streaming, clutching the fourth Heart’s shards. The air stung with the reek of molten steel and something acrid, like hope charred to ash. Jace’s Glock trembled, his heart a tangle of grief, rage, and doubt—Ethan’s wired form, Lena’s shak

  • The Mirror Of The Void

    Jace Caldwell’s scar burned, a jagged pulse searing his chest as NexTech’s neon-lit city trembled, the void-core—a massive, pulsing machine etched with the company’s logo—roaring at its heart. His mirror-self stood before it, eyes black, scar blazing, voice a twisted echo of his own: “You’re not the heart. I am.” Ethan’s ash lingered under Jace’s nails, his brother’s final scream—The Void’s in you—clawing at his mind. Aria, the young Marked girl, screamed, a gold Obsidian Heart forming in her trembling hands, its pulse wild, like a star fracturing. Lena Voss gripped Jace’s arm, her eyes human again, tears cutting through blood-streaked grime, her rune-etched dagger discarded but her betrayal still raw. Selene lay slumped, her final Heart dim, blood pooling from her scar. Victor Kane’s void-black form—face splitting, eyes multiplying—loomed, his laughter a chorus of shadows. The air stung with the reek of molten steel and something sour, like betrayal baked into bone. Jace’s Glock

  • The Heart Of Void

    Jace Caldwell’s scar burned, a jagged pulse tearing through his chest as the shadow city’s plaza vanished, the portal’s red light spitting him into a real city—NexTech’s gleaming metropolis, all steel spires and neon veins, pulsing like the Obsidian Hearts. Ethan stood before him, unchained, his black eyes glinting, clutching a new Heart blacker than night, its pulse a low thrum, like a storm trapped in stone. Victor Kane loomed, his face splitting, void-black eyes multiplying, his voice a chorus of shadows: “The Void’s awake, and you’re its heart.” Lena Voss staggered beside Jace, her eyes human again, tears cutting through blood, her rune-etched dagger trembling in her hand, the new Heart’s glow dim. Aria, the young Marked girl, clung to a shattered pillar, her red eyes streaming, the fourth Heart’s shards scattered at her feet. Selene lay slumped, her final Heart pulsing weakly, blood pooling from her scar. The air reeked of ozone and something rancid, like dreams burned to ash
